SUPERMARKET TALKS & PERFORMANCE PROGRAMME
TALKS & PERFORMANCE have formed a vital part of the art fair since it began with the aim to stimulate the interest of the broad public in issues, topics and trends relevant to contemporary art.
SUPERMARKET TALKS functions as an open space for talks, presentations and debates on contemporary art and its relation to society in general. The previous themes have been Art of the Future (2009), Documentation/Non-documentation (2010), The Absent Hub (2011), The Waiting Room of Eternity (2012), Happiness (2013), Difference(s) (2014), Invisibility – who represents who? (2015), 10th anniversary of Supermarket (2016), Intimacy (2017), Legacy: who will survive and what will be left of them? (2018) and Temporary moratorium: all allowed? (2019), Fabricated (2020), Shapeshifters (2021), Holy Fluff (2022), Twilight Zone (2023), Dream On (2024) and Passion (2025). The theme of SUPERMARKET 2026 is the Great Gala.
SUPERMARKET PERFORMANCE shows works by performance artists from around the world both on- and off-stage, and offers a range of performances from durational pieces to interactive or lecture performances. Konstnärernas Riksorganisation, Kulturtidskriften Hjärnstorm, IASPIS, Fylkingen, STOFF and many more have been important contributors to the programme.
